Hello Folks,

One more interesting blog and sharing the knowledge and experience with you, basically let's follow the topics and instructions during the reading.

Tip in case that you still on-premise (PI or PO)






During my research about this signature I found a very good blogs from fantastic development, please take look below.

Introduction:




In below blog I would like to share how we can integrate Amazon S3 Bucket service using the HTTPS standard adapter doing the AWS Signature via groovy.

Also I will mention the others possibilities in case of no license to use Open Connector for Amazon or if you are not aware about the Amazon Web Service Adapter release 09 Feb 2021.

What I will not cover in the blog ?

  • The whole setup of the Amazon S3 service detail - Why ? You can check in the blog of sriprasad.shivarambhat those details, no make sense repeat.

  • SDK'S available from the Amazon with ready code to be used. (There is for JavaScript but not for groovy)

  • How to deploy the new adapter release by SAP.






Scenario and Integration perspective:




The scenario is the integration of SAP MDG sending a custom XML related with material state change (create, delete, change).


The SAP CPI will be responsible to receive the call, parse the XML to JSON using a custom groovy development and also create the signature of AWS in groovy and send the binary file using the HTTPS adapter with the PUT method to store in the Amazon S3 Bucket.

Further in this blog you will have access to the groovy codes.

*** Important information the code must be change for the correct host information details of your AWS Server ***




Amazon S3 Bucket service






An Amazon S3 bucket is a public cloud storage resource available in Amazon Web Services' (AWS) Simple Storage Service (S3), an object storage offering. Amazon S3 buckets, which are similar to file folders, store objects, which consist of data and its descriptive metadata.

Basically the S3 bucket act on-cloud repository

S3 Bucket vs traditional SFTP:


I recommend you to read the advantages to think - GO TO CLOUD in your business, not only for storage perspective, please take look in the link below with the main differences between S3 Bucket (Cloud)  and the traditional on-premise SFTP server.

S3 vs SFTP

Important to mention that Amazon provides SFTP on-cloud also, we are not going to explore this topic in this blog.

 




Adapters available in SAP CPI







  • Open Connector Amazon


For this adapter there is a fantastic blog from sriprasad.shivarambhat explaining clearly how to setup and make the configuration in case that your company has the license for OpenConnector for SAP CPI

Link of the Blog: Amazon Open Connector

  • HTTPS


This is the adapter that I choose for this scenario, basic and traditional HTTP(S) call with methods and authentication, in this case the authentication is made by groovy you will see later the configuration.

  • Amazon Web Services Adapter


More details about this adapter - SAP API Hub




Groovy to convert XML to JSON






Before post the code of this conversion, it is really important to mention about the SAP press - Groovy SAP Press of engswee.yeoh and vadim.klimov


Why not use the convertor XML to JSON ?


It is up to the developer but I did the groovy code.

Input XML:

Integer.parseInt(m[2], 16)
] as byte[], StandardCharsets.UTF_16)
inp = inp.replace(m[0], uniAsString)
}
return inp
}

Why I'm using unescapeUnicode function ?

There is some accents in some strings -  Código - "ó" without it developing the groovy is not able to encode proper so this function is used to keep the encoding proper.

If you use the XML to JSON convertor, this situation not happens.

Thanks r_herrmann for the TIP.




AWS Signature via groovy - Method PUT






I will not explain in the details whole process of the signature, you can easily check in the Amazon Header Signature V4 , but I will try high light how to make it.

To generate the signature header v4 basically it is compose of 3 steps with the details of Amazon S3 Buket:







  • Canonical Request








  • String-to-Sing













  • Deriver-signing-key









byte [ ] signing_key =
byte[] getSignatureKey(String key, String dateStamp, String regionName, String serviceName) throws Exception {
byte[] kSecret = ("AWS4" + key).getBytes("UTF8");
byte[] kDate = HmacSHA256(dateStamp, kSecret);
byte[] kRegion = HmacSHA256(regionName, kDate);
byte[] kService = HmacSHA256(serviceName, kRegion);
byte[] kSigning = HmacSHA256("aws4_request", kService);
return kSigning;
}

 

The details of each step is clear and you will see with more details in the groovy script:

Problems to use the Message Digest - SHA256 - in Groovy.

Lib: import java.security.MessageDigest;

Function:
def generateHex(String data) {
MessageDigest mac = MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA-256");
byte[] signatureBytes = mac.digest(data.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
StringBuffer hexString = new StringBuffer();
for (int j=0; j<signatureBytes.length; j++) {
String hex=Integer.toHexString(0xff & signatureBytes[j]);
if(hex.length()==1) hexString.append('0');
hexString.append(hex);
}
String encryptedSignature = hexString.toString();
String encryptHash = encryptedSignature.replace("-","");
encryptHash = encryptHash.toLowerCase();
return encryptHash;
}

Error about Security Exception in the line 83 in yellow:







To solve the problem is soft, basically import the lib import org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils; in your code.

Lib: import org.apache.commons.codec.digest.DigestUtils;

Replace the function to generate SHA-256 HEX using the function sha256Hex from DigestUtils

def hashBody = DigestUtils.sha256Hex(body)


Link for more details: sha256Hex-java.lang.String

Different methods to develop SHA-256:

Generate SHA-256




Method GET






For the method GET there is no body in this case, so the value of content must be fix :

e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

X-Amz-Content-Sha256: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

hashBody: e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

Basically change the from PUT to GET:

String method = "GET".




Integration Flow in SAP CPI - HTTPS Adapter







Basically the SAP MDG is sending the data via SOAP RM - ( For test proposal I'm using the SOAP)

  1. Groovy - XML to JSON

  2. Groovy - Signature Header Amazon S3 V4

  3. Syncronous call to Flow

  4. HTTPS Adapter to S3 Bucket Amazon

  5. Groovy HTTP Exception


Above you already could check the groovy in details, now let's present the configuration of the HTTPS adapter and the groovy of HTTP Exception.




Adapter configuration is basic







  • Method - PUT

  • Authentication - None (Groovy Signature Header Amazon S3 V4 is doing this job)

  • Address - <yourAwsDetailBuket> and <yourFolder>

  • ${property.NameArquivo} - It was set in the first groovy to be Dynamic








Groovy - HTTP Exception






import com.sap.gateway.ip.core.customdev.util.Message
import java.util.HashMap
import org.w3c.dom.Node
import groovy.xml.*


def Message processData(Message message) {
java.io.InputStream reader = message.getBody(java.io.InputStream)
def messageLog = messageLogFactory.getMessageLog(message)
def xHeaders = message.getHeaders()
def map = message.getProperties()
String logVar = map.get("enableLog")
String sResponseCode = xHeaders.get("CamelHttpResponseCode")
String sHtttpError = xHeaders.get ("CamelHttpResponseText")
def ex = map.get("CamelExceptionCaught");
if (ex!=null) {
if (ex.getClass().getCanonicalName().equals("org.apache.camel.component.ahc.AhcOperationFailedException")) {
messageLog.addAttachmentAsString("HTTP Response body: ", ex.getResponseBody(), "text/plain");
String exceptionBody = "Error in the routing details in the Iflow "
throw new Exception(exceptionBody);
return message;
}
}
else{
String exceptionBody = "Error in the routing details in the Iflow "
throw new Exception(exceptionBody);
return message;

}
return message;
}





Possible erros:




There are many possibilities of errors in this HTTPS call but mainly I will present the 3 most classics for this integration.





  • AccessDenied:






<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error>
<Code>AccessDenied</Code>
<Message>Access Denied</Message>
<RequestId>WX63PW5GYS61NRYV</RequestId>
<HostId>+pyQoa9brW6NGw0j9rMDJiz84Nhucp58we4WPbtEVRI/yzSgXhMQE9TUro97Fr5wPYDDw2QP5RQ=</HostId>
</Error>

Means that the credential user detail in AWS is without proper AWS Roles to Read and Write in the S3 bucket, check the link below:

Bucket Policy AWS





  • SignatureDoesNotMatch






<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error>
<Code>SignatureDoesNotMatch</Code>
<Message>The request signature we calculated does not match the signature you provided. Check your key and signing method.</Message>
<AWSAccessKeyId>AKIAWXC7MCXWRGBV5QVD</AWSAccessKeyId>
</Error>

In case that you decide use the groovy script to generate the signature calculation, review all detail information that you provide.





  • MethodNotAllowed






You are using the HTTP method not valid, for example "POST"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Error>
<Code>MethodNotAllowed</Code>
<Message>The specified method is not allowed against this resource.</Message>
<Method>POST</Method>
<ResourceType>OBJECT</ResourceType>
<RequestId>NEAJEF9PATJ8ADS4</RequestId>
<HostId>Zb9ljNLrZtApEWu+Sr6fkKxFP7zy3jU3ILpr+EcQHKZfzP9nxyOdAeVr6mywTRVCls/zjMm62CA=</HostId>
</Error>





Integration Flow in SAP CPI using AmazonWebService Adapter











Basically the SAP MDG is sending the data via SOAP RM - ( For test proposal I'm using the SOAP)

  1. Groovy - XML to JSON

  2. Syncronous call to Flow

  3. Amazon Adapter

  4. Groovy Exception






Configuration of Amazon Adapter:




You must proceed with the deploy of this adapter to be visible on the list of adapters available in your SAP CPI.







Select the protocol AWS, in this case S3:









Select the region and details of your bucket and alias of credencials









Go to security materials and create alias for Access Key and Secret Key:




I will present only for access key but must make for secret key also with the same proceedure.







Processing details with informations of Operation, Directory, File Name and Content-Type




The adapter will be responsible to generate the signature header Amazon S3 V4 for you.




Let's rock now, off course using the HTTPS adapter.




First lets check what is the state of the S3 bucket:







Now I'm going to send data from SOAP UI and Trace On in the Flow:




Let me check the name of file in the trace:


Let's check the S3 Bucket again - BOOM:


To don't extend much the blog let's use the POSTMAN using the method GET to check the content if it is the same of the trace in SAP CPI.







I hope that you enjoy the read and what I presented in this blogs.

Kind Regards,

Viana.
